It is located in a rural environment of vine cultivation that has certainly been a mute witness to conflicts between the farmers, to dead rabassa contracts, to the appearance of phylloxera... but also to the prosperity of its inhabitants, of demographic growth, changes... Sant Joan de Lledó is a small church of Romanesque origin, whose factory has been modified over the years. It is one of the many testimonies that are part of the repopulating movement of these borderlands.

It is a chapel with a single rectangular nave with an added side building, the sacristy, which has the shape of a pre-Romanesque apse. It has lateral buttresses and a raised apse, with a Romanesque window, in the Baroque period. It has a door on the west facade with an archivolt and above it, an open bull's eye and a redone bell tower. The chapel is located in the middle of vineyards, almond trees and olive trees.
